Project
Management in
E-government
-- Dr.
Anil Kumar Jampala
It
is common to hear about projects failures, both in private
and public sector. The probability of success in eGovernment
(eGov) projects can be significantly improved provided the
project manager is fully aware of the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK)® and its extension to
government, and the reasons for failures and successes from
similar projects elsewhere. In this paper, the author touches
upon these matters and list issues specific to Indian environment.

Customer-oriented
E-government-- Robert
D Atkinson and Andrew Leigh
E-government
projects have failed in the past, as policy makers did not
realize the value of back end changes that were vital to create
a good government website that meets expectations of the citizens.
Now, they have got an opportunity to reshape their views about
on-line governance so that its citizen-centric approach would
help them reach more people better and achieve higher efficiency
levels.

E-procurement:
The
Business Side of E-government
-- Jacques
S Gansler and William Lucyshyn
As
part of the e-government (e-gov) transformation the US Federal
Government has directed its agencies to adopt e-procurement
and implement commercial "best practices". Federal
Government agencies procured over $250 bn of goods and services
and the potential impacts are significant. Based on case studies,
the key factors that make e-procurement implementation successful
are identified. They include providing strong leadership,
transforming procurement processes, ensuring interoperability,
adopting commercial, "best-of-breed" applications,
and providing the required resources.

Managing
Multiple Small E-government Projects: Not Everything in the
States is Big -- Carl
Pritchard
When
you think of the US Government from a project perspective,
massive efforts come to mindhuge construction and reconstruction
projects, dams, bridges and military hardware. But not all
the government projects are big. In fact, the government is
working hard to generate more and more smaller projects to
encourage more work at the micro-level rather than at macro-level.
The author examines what we can learn from the government's
swing toward "smaller is better."

Public
Sector and Projects

out the advantages and challenges of consulting to this segment
of the market, and how you can get started in, and stay on
top of, government consulting.
